IMPROVEMENT IN lRO NlNG-TABLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 164,258, dated J une 8,1875 application filed January 30, 1875.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, OLIVER F. BURLIN- GAME,of Sterling, in the county of Whitesides and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Ironing- Tables; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing andto the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in the combination, with theironing-table, of legs hinged to one end of the table and provided withnotches at their lower end, and other legs pivoted at or near the centerof the first two legs, and provided near their upper end with pivotedarms or rods, which are connected at their lower ends with a crossbar torest in the notches mentioned, for supporting the free end of the table,as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, whichforms a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is aperspective view of my ironing-table. Fig. 2 is a perspective view inenlarged dimensions of the notched ends of the legs with the bar placedtherein.

A represents an ironing-table of any suitable size and shape, providedat or near its larger end on the under side with ears E, to which arepivoted the legs B B. These legs are connected by suitable rounds andformed with a series of notches, I P, near their lower ends. At or nearthe centers of the legs B B are pivoted other legs D D, which are alsoconnected by suitable rounds, and near their upper ends they have armsor rods L L pendent therefrom, the lower ends of said arms or rods beingconnected by means of a crossbar, 0, the ends of which are to rest inthe notches P of the legs B, and thus support the free end of the tableA. By moving the bar Ointo difi'ercnt notches on the legs the table maybe set at any inclination desired.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with the table A, of the legs B B hinged to the tableand having notches P P at their lower ends, the legs D D pivoted to thelegs B B, and the arms or rods L L having bar 0 and pivoted to the legsD D near the upper ends for supporting the free end of the table, allconstructed substantially as shown and described.
